6/13/2003 12:00:00 AM | Outdoor Track & Field
During the second day of the 2003 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championship, Colorado State senior Drew Loftin released the sixth best throw in the preliminaries of the discus to advance to finals.
Loftin has now advanced to the finals in both the discus and the hammer at the NCAA Championship. Senior Brian Trainor, who has been suffering from a wrist injury of late, did not qualify for finals after throwing 177-2 to finish 18th.
In the finals of the 10,000 meters, senior Dylan Olchin placed 24th overall after running a 30:07.79 and freshman Paul Michel failed to make the finals of the 1500 meters after placing 25th with a time of 4:01.39.
The lone female to compete yesterday, junior Keela Niemeyer was fifth in her flight and 17th overall in the shot put with a throw of 50-8.75. Niemeyer also did not make the finals.
Loftin will compete Friday in the finals of the hammer at 11:00 a.m. (Mountain), while sophomore Mike Nicks will run in the steeplechase finals at 9:15 p.m. On Saturday, Loftin will throw the finals of the discus at 3:00 p.m. (Mountain).
